Coralie was sitting in her room, reading a book to her egg, when she felt a movement against her stomach. Looking down, she noticed the egg had cracked, and there was a little fluid dripping onto her shirt. Well, that was rather gross. "Stay here, guys." She told her other Pokemon, most of whom were asleep anyway. Xue nodded from his place in front of the fan, and Cora got up, carefully cradling the egg and hurrying out the door and across the hallway to knock on Ty's door.
"Ty! It broke and now my shirt's wet!" In her excited panic, she didn't make much sense. [/size] |

Tyler opened the door, looking at his feminine friend with great confusion. Her what broke and what was leaking?! Barely avoiding a panic attempt in confusion, he attempted to get an actual grasp on the situation.
"Coralie, slow down! What broke? ........ oh! ooooh, it's hatching! Ah, quick, come in.... ah..." Ty scurried away from the door, searching around; he admitted he had no clue about the mechanics of egg hatching, but as hers was.... messy, they'd need a towel or something.
While Tyler dug around, talking about how they needed something to put her egg on, Coralie could see his own purple egg resting in the middle of his bed... until it shifted all on it's own, jiggling around... and starting to inch itself towards the precariously-high edge...

Coralie shut the door behind her, still cradling the leaking egg. Did all eggs do this? Probably not the fire-types. She'd never had to actually hold an egg while it was hatching before, so this was new. And kind of gross.
As he searched, she noticed Shelly's egg was actually moving, and about fall off the bed. Without thinking she plopped her own egg down on Ty's bed, closer to the middle, and grabbed Shelly's. "Don't fall off the bed before you're even born!" She scolded softly, setting the egg down next to her own and joining Tyler in his search. Meanwhile, her future Shroomish was forcing the fluids from his egg as he tried to escape it, and making the bed look quite a bit like Tyler had wet it. Lovely. [/size] |

"No, no.... gah, where did I put it? ..... aha, under here! Finally, now we can stop it from leaking everywhere.... ah.... guess we're a little late by now..." Tyler frowned slightly, noting her little egg was pratically vomiting all over his formerly prestinely-clean bed. No matter, children came before comfort... right?
"So has yours been moving around a lot, Coralie? Shelly here barely seems to ever do... anything really..." he admitted, letting her shift her egg briefly so he could get the towel underneath, reducing the leakage.... a little anyway. It was large enough to accomodate Shelly on the other side as well, who wiggled briefly again before going still; on the bottom however one of the Shellder's spikes rammed the wall, creating a nest of cracks.

Cora noticed the wet spot on his bed and blushed. "Oh, whoops...I'm so sorry! I'll wash your sheets for you." Which actually might look worse, she realized once she'd said it. The whole dorm would talk.
Calming herself down a little, Cora nodded, helping get her egg situated on the towel. Most of the leakage seemed to have stopped by now, and a few more cracks were in one side where, hidden inside, Sherwood was butting his head against the enclosing shell.
"Just recently he's started moving more. It's a little weird, actually. He'll be still for a while, and all of a sudden start rocking back and forth." [/size] |

"Ah, it's okay, better here than in your room I mean... Mel's in there too, so the smell'll only bother me for a little while, until I fix it all up... but Shelly's kinda the same, but she almost never moves at all... she'll shake around sometimes but... nothing major I've ever seen.... I'm thinking she's a 'late bloomer" he sighed, watching Coralie's egg rock around a few time, and noting how stressed she seemed to be.
"Heh, it's terribly exciting and terrying all at once, isn't it?" Even as he said so, Shelly's egg surged to one side, to the point he had to grab it before used all it's momentum rolling off somewhere.

"Ok, I just didn't even think about it...I just set it down to grab Shelly! She's going to be a trouble-maker." Coralie laughed, watching as more and more cracks appeared on the spotted shell of her Shroomish. "I think it'll be soon! For Shelly, too." Cora smiled, giving Tyler a quick hug. "It is. I feel like I have so much invested in them. That's sort of lame and nerdy, I know." [/size] |

"Oh, Shelly'll behave.... most of the time, I'm sure. She has been so far, at least" Tyler smiled, chuckling a little when she claimed it was 'lame and nerdy'.
"Coralie, that just proves how good you are at this! Some people hardly have a care for egg, like they're just another Pokemon, but to the best people it's like being a parent for real... all the worry and excitement, fear and joy.... this just shows you'll be a really good parent some day.... though if you get glasses, let me know, I think they'd look cute on you" he finished with some playful gentle teasing, holding her hand lightly as Shelly's egg had a huge fissure cracked into it, one of her Shellder-spikes jabbing right through.
"Come on you two, we're right here waiting... we know you can do it" Ty encouraged the egg pair quietly, wondering which'd hatch first.

"I hope they both do!" As she listened to his opinion, she almost felt like crying. He was the first person she'd met other than the day-care couple that understood. It was different than getting a Pokemon that was already older. It was like raising your own child. It was a different bond entirely.
"Thanks, Ty. I'm glad you understand me so well. And I'll be sure to tell you." She smiled, holding his hand as they watched the eggs. "Come on, babies!"
As though her words had given him extra strength, Sherwood moved violently, smashing a piece of the egg off so that the little tuft on top of his head appeared. Slower now, he wiggled, the shell cracking further and getting easier for him to push himself out. With one last shove, he toppled from the egg, rolling towards the edge of the bed. [/size] |

Tyler's heart skipped a beat or two when she said that he understood her well. That was fantastic! He was very tempted to go all Casanova on her and kiss her while he still had the mental rush/riskyness in him to try a stunt like that, but his thoughts were blocked by the sudden appearance of Coralie's Pokemon, a grass type by the looks of it, bashing it's way out of the egg and it's rather roundish body rolling towards the edge of the bed!
"Whoa, careful little one!" Ty cried, having a quick reaction and grabbing the Shroomish's sides before it flew off the side and onto the floor (this wasn't a Giraffirag birth here!), picking it up and holding it gently, offering it to Coralie. "Congrats, I guess now you're a mommy" he smiled at her, Shelly's egg actually collasping in on itself outside of his notice (covered in eggshell the same pattern as her actual shell, the newborn Shelly camoflauged perfectly, utterlly lost under the remanents of her former house).

Coralie was horrified when she realized her baby was rolling off the bed, but was very relieved when she saw Tyler catch the little guy. Of course, she didn't know it was a boy yet. She grinned at Ty's words, taking her baby Shroomish and cuddling him in her arms. "Thanks! Looks like you're a daddy, too." Blushing at how that sounded, she glanced and noticed with relief that Shelly's egg looked collapsed in. She nodded towards her. [/size] |

"I am? Oh! I am! Ah.... Shelly.... Shelly? Where are you Shelly..... come to daddy...." Tyler cooed after glancing over and seeing Shelly's egg more like a pile of busted eggshell, worriedly digging around for his newly hatched Pokemon.
Shell.
"Shelly?"
Der. Shellder Shell! Shelly muffled, Tyler having to remove most of the shell before picking up another bit of shell, and finding it much weightier; only then did he relise that bit of "eggshell" was Shelly's actual shell body.
"Shelly! I found you at last! Hi there" Ty smiled, sitting back and holding the little Shellder in front of him, who stuck her tongue at him happily.... at least, he thought it was happiness, Shellder apparently had their tongues out pratically all the time....

Coralie was horrified when Shelly seemed to completely disappear from view. When Ty found her, though, Cora smiled. Good. He hadn't failed the assignment before the egg even fully hatched. She studied both babies for a few moments, especially taking in each dot on the Shroomish. He was her baby, in her mind, and she had to be a good mother, which meant knowing everything about him.
Looking over at Ty and Shelly, she noticed how happy the Shellder looked. She picked up her Shroomish, cuddling him. "I still don't have a name for my little guy." [/size] |

"Hm, well.... name is important, and all... good thing Shelly here seems to be a girl, haha. Ah, how about.... no, well, I guess Shroomy doesn't really apply too well.... maybe something to do with forests? Hmmm, Eterna, Viridian... oh, oh OH! What's that........ from Robin Hood, I think, the forest in there? Begins with a S?" Tyler attempted to suggest, his mind going blank; a giant mental billboard of what he wanted to say there, but just being too hard to read, his memory too fuzzy.... now he kind of wished he'd paid more attention to Robin Hood.
Meanwhile, Shelly was taking great interest in the side of Ty's hand, prodding him a few times with the sides of her shell before outright NOMNOMNOMing her "daddy's" hand, though it was more like.... being eaten by something without teeth. Lots of gumwork that got you nowhere, really... |
